LibVLCSharp version 3.7.0
=========================
[BREAKING CHANGE] for UWP only: The namespaces of the view has been changed from
```

xmlns:lvs="using:LibVLCSharp.Platforms.UWP"
```
to
```
LibVLCSharp.Platforms.Windows
xmlns:lvs="using:LibVLCSharp.Platforms.Windows"
```
We needed to have a way to name the view for both UWP and WinUI platforms as having 2 separate names was not possible. Hence the API break.

    <WindowsAppSdkBootstrapInitialize>false</WindowsAppSdkBootstrapInitialize>
	<WindowsAppSDKSelfContained>true</WindowsAppSDKSelfContained>
and remove Package.appxmanifest.
